Surprise!  Even though I can't launch the DRDOS7 COMMAND.COM [either
directly, or via a WinMe shortcut], I can launch [both directly and via
WinMe shortcut] a .BAT containing the text C:\DRDOS7\COMMAND.COM !!! 
[Every day brings something new, I guess...]  The  DRDOS7 DOS box seems
to work properly.

Which brings up another question...
Without executing a CONFIG.SYS, is it possible to execute command
switches like HISTORY=ON,512,ON for the DOS box?  [There are mechanisms
for getting device drivers and environment variables processed, but I
don't know of anything I can do with the HISTORY command switch...?]
